Summer Maternity Dress Design

So I finally got around to drawing a pattern for my second maternity dress. I used the same high waisted style as the previous dress, but added a V neck and waistband with straps instead of full sleeves. Now that I look at my fabric again, I do wonder what made me buy it, but it's summery and cheerful and was cheap! Again the dress has elastic fitted into the back to allow for extra growth and stretching and for ease of dressing (no zips or buttons).
I think it turned out really well, even though it is rather bright. It's comfy, fits well and will be still be able to be worn as a summer dress post baby as the waist is a little longer.
